Backing up Windows 10 mail before re-installation
I'm trying to backup Windows 10 mail app so I can re-install Windows 10 however I'm only able to get part way through the instructions
a) Navigate to the following location:
b) C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\packages\microsoft.Windowscommunicationsapps\Localstate\Indexed\Livecomm\any folder name\any folder name\mail.(C:\ being the drive where Windows is installed)
c) The app data folder in the above said location is a hidden folder. So, if you are unable to view, change the view options to show hidden files and check.
d) You will find many folders for each folder in the mail folder (like inbox, sent, drafts). Open these folders and locate the folders that contains the emails.
e) Copy and paste these email files in the desired location. You will be able to open these files using any email applications.
On my Windows 10 Installation microsoft.Windowscommunicationsapps =
microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe
I'm hoping there's some method to backup Windows 10 Mail app. Though it's a great app, integrated into Windows 10 it is missing functions I am use to having, such as a store file for backup, rules, and other features of Windows Mail and Outlook.
I do have an old version of Outlook that I'm uncertain can be installed to run under Windows 10? I think Window Mail Vista use to be a download and could be installed on Windows 7? Windows Mail Live I read someplace is part of Windows Live Essentials ?
